"Competition" is the word that one should participate in....or else there will be no way for the survival of anything...one may get the upper hand in the competition and the others may left behind... Its not the case from the past 40 decades....several companies several organizations had their hand up while the others beg on knees in front of the heir... "Every one has to leave this world",In the same way.... "Every dog has its day",the word "persistence" became more difficult than to stay top in the competition...the losers are looking at the knees and are definitely trying to get u down for sure... IBM shook the world....there u go MICROSOFT took over...and now its the turn of APPLE to have the rugby ball....Who knows the gear may shift to anyone anytime...i guess if this happens it will be GOOGLE.. well watch over...

Apple now the most valuable company in american history with net market worth of 620 billion $ the previous most valuable company being microsoft in 1999(net market worth-619 billion $) Conversions 1 billion =100 crores present rupee conversion 1 $=59rupees and change Consider inflation rate and other factors though ms's value is expected to be 824 billion $ (the old market worth at present rates) P.S :As glorified as anything can be it has to fall eventually...@deepu
